Question 11

Question
Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) conducted a study in which they asked participants to recall a list of words. Half of the participants were required to recall the list of words immediately. What did their results show?
Answer
  • All participants only remembered 7 words
  • Individuals tended to forget most of the words on the list apart from the last words, as short-term memory has limited duration
  • Participants tended to remember the first few and last few words and are more likely to forget those in the middle of the list
  • Participants tended to remember the words in the middle of the list and forget the words at the beginning and end of the list

Question 12

Question
In Glazer and Cunitz's (1966) study half of the participants were asked to conduct a task before recalling the list of words. Results found that the participants who had to carry out a task before recalling the list tended to forget the words at the end of the list, but still remember the words at the start of the list. Does this support the MSM?
Answer
  • Yes
  • No

Question 13

Question
Encoding is mainly semantic (meaning based) in the long-term memory store.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 14

Question
According to the MSM the long-term memory store has a limited capacity and duration
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 15

Question
Forgetting in long-term memory occurs in the retrieval stage not the processing stage
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 16

Question

Answer
  • Duration - how long the information is stored
  • Capacity - how much information is stored
  • Encoding - the form of information (eg. visual).
